PATEFT HUNTING-LICENSE HOLDER.

Application filed April 16, 1923. Serial No. 632,262.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH E. STAMPFLI, a citizen of the United States, residing at Oakland, in the county or Alameda and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hunting- License Holders, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is an improved hunting li-l cense holder.

The object of my invention is to provide a convenient means of carrying the license so that it cannot be lost or mutilated.

Further objects are to provide a holder which is placed in the gun stock, and Which is simple in construction and inexpensive to manufacture.

In the annexed drawing in which my invention is illustrated.

2O Figure l is a fragmentary longitudinal sectional view of a gun stock with my holder positioned therein.

Figure 2 is an end elevation of the holder case.

Figure is a perspective view of the holder.

Referring more particularly to the draiving, the numeral l indicates a gun stock and 2 the shoulder plate securedto the end thereof. A longitudinal bore 3 is formed in the stock l, and a casing 4 is adapted to fit into said bore. A plate 5 is secured to the open end of the casing 4, and an aperture 6 is formed therein communicating With the casing 4. 'I he plate 5 is countersunk into the end of the stock l and the plate 2 is fastened over it, thus holding the casing 4 securely in position.

An opening 7 is formed in the plate 2 in alignment With the hole 6 in the plate 5.

A tube 8 is adapted to fit Within the casing 4, and holds the license. The closed end of said tube is threaded as at 9 into the end of the casing and a slot lO being formed on the closed end of the tube Whereby the tube is inserted or removed.

rIhe open end of the tube 8 is adjacent the closed end of the casing 4, which insures the safe keeping or" the license. The tube 8 may be readily removed or returned to position through the opening 7.

Having described my invention, I claim:

A license holder Whichiis adapted to it within a gun stock, comprising a casing, said stock having a bore to receive said casing, a plate on the end of said casing, said plate having a hole therein opening into said casing, a tube, threads on the end of said tube which are adapted to thread into the end of said casing, means 'for rotating said tube.
